Evisu is still loved!

[blasterofair]

ah_long what size are the no1s you plan on selling?

I'm super interested PM me dude

[ah_long]

thanks guys, I have a range in mind now.... I'll list them in the Supermarket shortly..

in the meanwhile, if anyone's interested in a Sz 34 (Tag) Evisu No.1 w/ Tokyo Blue gulls, PM me...

[CrashTestBrummie]

You may well make more on eBay, even taking into account their fees...

These are 2000s, right?

[ah_long]

ya, they are lot 2000

I would try to do sufu before ebay.. if it doesn't sell in a week here or at another local forum, I'll put it up.. I much rather deal with a lower price than to do Ebay

[CrashTestBrummie]

Fair enough

If you list them on eBay, be sure to make them visible to buyers in the Far East, Malaysia in particular...they seem to be keen on their denim there, especially Evisu...

Gotta love a deadstock find

[beautiful_FrEaK]

congratz! I know that feeling

but damn..how do you do it? how many time do you spend searching for such beauties

[devilva]

Are they the ones that are based on a wrangler cut?

[CrashTestBrummie]

About once a fortnight or less, these days

The seller's pics had the tag covering the brown box itself, but the BiN was only £40 so I didn't bother asking for more pics...

Are they the ones that are based on a wrangler cut?

Yeah, the Wrangler 'repros'. Same broken twill denim as the mizuhiki jeans but they seem to have used a darker dye for the brown box denim...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

AFAIK, yyes. Hence the brown box (Wrangler leather patch)

[CrashTestBrummie]

These are a 29, although the sizing on this cut is oversized...nevertheless, they're the slimmest jeans I own, slimmer than my 2000s and FC 1108s...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

so an eBay find? lucky you! I rarely find stuff on the bay

[devilva]

I use to look through ebay a lot but in Australia its rare to come across anything Evisu related. But the UK definately seems to have some buried treasures.

Now you got me looking lol

[CrashTestBrummie]

The real buried treasures on UK eBay are the deadstock Evis that were imported here back around 1988 onwards...a lot don't have the red tab, but that can be sorted easily...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That's been listed on there for some time now, longer than my FOB Factory jacket haha - think he was asking £450 or something similar at first.

The jacket was discussed on here some time go, and both Paulo and I thought that it wasn't as vintage as the seller may have thought.

Certainly, you can find similarly-branded Yamane Deluxe jeans on Rakuten, and there may well be jackets there, too.

There was a 'Yamane Deluxe' jean produced by Evis back in the day, but I don't think Evis produced anything else by that name at the time...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thx!

I don't care if the jacket as great as he tells it is. I just liked the look of it...so maybe I should search evisu.jp for a type II jacket with a hood

[chambo2008]

I like that jacket but not keen on the hood

x-post from evolution

MIJ lot 2000 no2 hand paint. Purchased them in Nov 2009 so about 1 year 4 mos ish. Wore them as close to every day as possible, lots of biking last summer. They're going in for repairs #3: belt loop, torn pocket bag, finally going to have those holes patched in the back pocket, two new crotch tears. Washed about every 4-6 weeks, maybe once or twice every two if they got really dirty. I work a desk job so unfortunately they don't get trashed as much as maybe some other users who work in construction

The silver background is MUCH closer in terms of color and contrast, but it was so windy on my roof I had to shoot where the black paint is. I can do better ones upon request.

Plan to wear these for maybe another 6 months and then semi-retire them.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Looking good, blm14...

My comment above about the Evis-made Yamane Deluxe was slightly off the mark...seems that they did these beauties. Note the crossed-out '2501' on the patch...

[ah_long]

cant believe I sold the No. 1 already... didn't even hafta list them in Supermarket or Ebay..

I'm already missing them... oh well.. gonna get another pair sometime this year

[jlaz93]

can anyone give me any insight on these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150563484418&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1156

Thanks in advance

[coleslawyum]

Macau stuff I think. Could be fake. Just get some MIJ and call it a day.

I think it was the allure of the Tokyo blues.

[marvelous1200]

giving some Evisu love

really sad that these are too small for me. I think i would need a 38 in the No. 1 specials. Is anyone here interested in some 2000 #1's 35x35? I can't say i'll ever be back to a size 33, and if i did make it back it might not be for long...

so now I'm thinking of going for some #2 denim. But, even though #2 denim says it will shrink a little, have you #2 owners found it stretches back out to tagged size with normal wear? I mean does it even shrink enough to warrant a hot soak or could I just wear them without soaking them? I'm thinking of going true to size on a pair of 2000 #2's. The measurements look like they run a bit bigger than tagged size...

also, if anyone has proxied from the evisu.jp site, I'm a little confused on the painting options.

i would like hand painted black, but there are three options and I don't want to choose the wrong one and end up with the silkscreened gulls.

thanks in advance for any light you guys can shed.

[coleslawyum]

The translation is incorrect. If you choose the second option, ”ブラック” in the original Japanese. It should say カモメブラック, which means "Kamome Black"

Forgot to add Kamome means seagull. So if you see カモメ and a color next it, you're on the right track.

But I agree, you should get a proxy to help you out.

[devilva]

I think alot of us use Sutocorp and have bought off the website. Off memory I asked suto to just ask the website for hand painted gulls. Not sure if theres an option or not. You just choose the colour you want and then ask for hand painted.

As for the No.2's I personally would hotsoak before hand. Inseam might come in an inch or so and everywhere else just a little.

Alright, first off evisu is pretty common with fakes, so I highly recommend not buying from a dude with feedback from only buying stuff.

Second, just read the listing...

"I bought this item for my wife, but the size is not her. so, i sell it."

Link. But, you can take your chances with them being fake, or just not receiving them.

[marvelous1200]

yeah those are def fake, he's got other listings as well with that same stupid sentence.

find a different pair.
